This is a short overview on The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford. It is a modernistic novel so it has numerous perspectives and this is just one of them. AuthorFord Hermann Hueffer otherwise known as Ford Madox Ford was born in 1873 in the city of Merton, Surrey. He was the decedent of Madox Brown the artists and the son of a music critic Francis Hueffer. Ford Madox Ford came from a background of artist and literature and that lead to him liking literature. As a child he would often travel between Paris and Germany because of his father’s work but after his father died he moved to London at went to college there. Also it is where he wrote his first book called The Shifting of Fire at the age of 18. From that point on he wrote many books and which were very popular. He eloped with Elsie Martindale but that did not work out because Ford like to be with women. After that point in his life he met Joseph Conrad and he wrote to books with him and learned about modernistic writing that would later be shown in his novels. He was in the military but only saw the outcome of war and was never in any real sort of battle. After the war he spent the rest of his life writing books and being with many women until he died in 1939. Background

From 1910 to 1914 was a time of great change in social ideals because of the calm times and people began to think differently about the old ideals about social class. Women most of all were fighting for the right to vote and all the things that were swept under the rug before were coming to light. Some problems that were coming out was the idea of being divorced because more and more women were going for the right to vote and it did not just stop there. Suddenly the old fashion way was not good enough and that prompted change with some people. Characters

There are four character that the story revolves around because they are the interacting characters in which their stories intertwine during the novel. There are other characters...

...“golden candlesticks” represents Parris’ own greed and by extension the corrupted power of the theocracy of Salem. There are continuous references to light and dark within Miller’s play and Hytner draws attention to this particularly when Parris stands in the pulpit announcing excommunication and then turns and smothers the candle light between his fingers. This action although simple has a destructive element as instead of blowing out the light he smothers it viciously, causing the audience to feel a sense of foreboding for what is to come. Finally, Miller’s dialogue is possibly the most important part of the play captured fairly accurately by Hytner. The symbolism of a person’s name is integral to conveying Miller’s idea of the value of a good reputation within the community. When Parris queries Abigail about her affair with Proctor he says, “your name in the village is entirely white, is it not?” to which she replies, “there be no blush about my name, sir.” Abigail’s defensive attitude not only indicates she is lying, but also presents the idea of her innocence being tainted, which is emulated well in the film. Cinematically Hytner uses camera angles at the crucial moment when Proctor is signing his own confession, swapping from a camera angle looking up at his face and his view looking down writing his name. The use of silence here rather than meaningful non-diegetic sound helps to emphasise that this sort of thing actually happened across America during...

Force: Causes and Consequences
In War and the Iliad, Simone Weil and Rachel Bespaloff offer opposing interpretations of
the use of physical violence (force) against another person. The GoodSoldiers
considers force within the context of the Iraq War.
In response to these texts, what question or questions do you have about the causes
and consequences of force in contemporary life, particularly in war?
For our first major essay, pursue a line of inquiry that explores the problem of physical
violence, particularly as it relates to our course texts. What leads us to use force? What
are the consequences that follow from that choice? What role does society play in our
willingness to hurt or kill others? Are soldiers, who get paid to use force to resolve
conflict, heroes or victims in war?
I offer these questions as examples of what you could study. Ultimately, you are
responsible for the question that you decide to explore. My only restriction: your inquiry
must relate to our course readings.
Whatever question you decide to address, please incorporate at least two of our three
authors into your essay. In addition, you must also incorporate at least five outside
sources, either in support of your position or to help clarify the thinking of others.
I note that your are welcome to include anecdotes from your own life in your essay —
possibly in its introduction. ...

Here goes! Delivery of the "speech" is key. Good luck!

Respected friends,
I greatly appreciate the beneficial than harmful. My position is that peer pressure is definitely more harmful than it is beneficial and I would love to present some compelling statistics that lend credence to my position.
But first, what is peer
While peer pressure comes in all stages of life, it is most common in adolescents so allow me to focus my attention on this particular group. Teenagers are highly conscious about their images and are constantly worried about what others think of them and whether they fit in with their counterparts. They feel pressured to dress and behave in a certain way just so they could get accepted in their circles. They feel rushed into decisions...

...House acquired the meaning of ‘members of the House’ (Parliament).
It is generally held that metaphor plays a more important role in the change of meaning than metonymy. A more detailed analysis would show that there are some semantic changes that fit into more than the two groups discussed above. A change of meaning, e.g., may be brought about by the association between the sound-forms of two words. The word boon, e.g.”, originally meant ‘prayer, petition’, ‘request’, but then came to denote ‘a thing prayed or asked for’. Its current meaning is ‘a blessing, an advantage, a thing to be thanked for.’ The change of meaning was probably due to the similarity to the sound-form of the adjective boon (an Anglicised form of French bon denoting ‘good, nice’).
Within metaphoric and metonymic changes we can single out various subgroups. Here, however, we shall confine ourselves to a very general outline of the main types of semantic association as discussed above. A more detailed analysis of the changes of meaning and the nature of such changes belongs in the diachronic or historical lexicology and lies outside the scope of the present textbook.

Results of semantic change can be generally observed in the changes of the denotational meaning of the word (restriction and extension of meaning) or in the alteration of its connotational component (amelioration and deterioration of meaning).
Changes in the denotational meaning may result in the restriction of the...
